Also good for guessing the answer - but I was being a bit facetious. It's a bit advanced for Helen's daughter's age.

The spring is dropped and the higher you drop it from the more it compresses. Makes sense, non? So, what's going on is that the gravitational potential energy is being converted into the spring energy. Need formulae for both. Then set equal.

What is g?
-
g = 9.8 m / s^2. The force acting on a particle is F = m g, where m is the mass. The gravitational potential energy of a particle at height h is given by U = m g h.

A coffee drinker would have solved the question by now!

Shut up.
